Pros:
The City of Perham keeps the grass mowed and keeps the entire park in a clean condition. This course is mostly an 18 hole technical course. Most of the fairways are narrow, with numerous trees and thick vegetation on each side of the fairway. Hole 16 is the only hole that does not have trees. All of the holes have concrete tee pads, signs with the hole number, par, and distance, and strong, sturdy Prodigy baskets, that are blue in color. All of the baskets were replaced in 2021, and the concrete tee pads were added sometime in late 2022 or early 2023. The terrain for the entire course is flat. There are no water hazards. The soil is sandy, which causes the soil to dry out faster after a rain. The sandy soil also appears to keep the insect population down, as I have not encountered any mosquitos during the summer days I have played the course. The course is easy to follow, with most of the next tee pads within view of the basket that was just played. There is a huge snack factory that borders the west side of Arvig Park, which sometimes causes the holes on the west side of the park to smell like fresh potato chips.
Cons:
There is a huge dog food factory a couple of blocks to the south of the park, which causes the south side of the park to sometimes smell like dog food.
